New IV catheters are difficult to thread, have an awkward length for pediatric non-USGIV use, and do not self-occlude, causing frustration and inefficiency in clinical practice.
Current IV catheter design lacks ease of threading, appropriate length for pediatric use, and self-occlusion feature, leading to wasted time and patient discomfort.
